i am still not convinced with the ipod thing given the verbiage in the book...."not deemed appropriate for basketball" is so open to interpretation...why not specifically ban personal music devices, that would end the question...

I understand what you're saying, but it's no different that informing a player or coach they are required by rule to do something during any other time we're on the court - which we have course to do about 5 to 50 times per game.
And I'd bet if you brought this up to your association board and/or state interpreter, the concensus would be that it falls under 3.5.B & C.
